chrisb Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 I wonder if anyone has come across a supplier for a flexible (think roller shutter) sideways opening cupboard door? I am thinking of constructing a cupboard in the new utility room, approx 600mm wide and 800mm deep. There isn't a great deal of space for opening doors, and then putting things into and out of the cupboard becomes harder with the open doors in the way. To get around this I thought of using a retractable sliding door that moves around the side of the cupboard and out of the way, but I can't find a supplier. Any ideas welcome!

newhome Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 We had several of those in our caravan. They worked pretty well TBH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onoff Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 I've some plans for a roll top desk. Basically you stick thin wooden slats to leathercloth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found it works best with split slats, glued either side of canvas. Reduces the bending on the canvas, for longer life, and slides more easily in the slots as only the slats contact the slot edges.
